NC Lions Camp Dogwood Photo of the stone gate with lion statue at Camp Dogwood North Carolina is heating up and local VIPs are turning their thoughts towards Camp Dogwood, the vacation resort on Lake Norman in Sherrills Ford, NC. Every Summer, more than 850 visually impaired and blind campers enjoy weekly stays with daily events and relaxation while developing long-lasting relationships with other campers. These week long vacations are made possible by the North Caroina Lions Foundation and are available for VIPs all over the state. Activites include water sports, shopping trips, musical performances, art classes, and some good old fashioned front-porch-sittin'! View Website
